St John's are committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of everyone in our community. Throughout the work in our kids groups we adhere to strict guidelines in order to ensure the children and youth in our care are kept safe and are treated equally and with awareness of individual needs. This starts with the recruitment of volunteers for our children’s groups (all our children’s volunteers have a full DBS check), and continues within the organisation of the groups. All our volunteers carry out the Church of England safeguarding training, in order to ensure they are clear on the church’s expectations in their roles, how they are to act with the children and what to do if they have concerns. Our full safeguarding policy can be found here. We welcome those with additional needs, please talk to Janet or Lucy to discuss your child’s support needs
